[IRCA] TP 11 Oct

[Nick Hall-Patch]

A rather unpredictable mess this morning

Listening to JOHR-1287 just now, moments ago, it was apparent Tonga 
on 1017 running late, a fair number of tentative New Zealand, some 
Australian, HLAZ on their Chinese service pattern, here's JOLF-1242 
popping up.  Nothing is very strong and everything is just here for 
the moment.  Details later.


best wishes,

Nick

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-11

[d1028gary]

Like Nick has reported the band featured both Asians and trans-equatorial 
propagation this morning, with 738-Tahiti again unusually strong here 
throughout the session. The Asian big guns on 594, 693, 747, 774, 828 and 
(especially) 1566 were back up to their typical strength during the predawn 
darkness at 1250, although the NHK stations seemed to take a swoon from 
1300-1330. With the exception of 738's strong signal sunrise enhancement was 
fairly routine, with only an unusually good signal on 1017 (presumed CRI) late 
on around 1400.   
  
At my 1250 start time 738-Tahiti was already managing a steady fair signal, and 
was in an out with good peaks throughout the session. In contrast to yesterday 
most of the Japanese and Korean big guns were back up to strength, although 
very few second tier Asians were managing audio (1017, 1044 and 1503, all 
weak). Asians seem to take a general swoon here from 1300-1330, with most of 
them recovering their original strength late in sunrise enhancement. 1017 was 
one of the few unusual performers around 1355, and although Nick reported Tonga 
as being on late, the null bearing and Korean-type speech seemed to indicate 
CRI. The NHK big guns on 594, 693 and 747 led the way with S7 signals after 
1400, and 603-HLSA and 657-Pyongyang came out of the noise about this time to 
reach fair levels. Other than more unusually good signals from 738-Tahiti the 
session was fairly routine, as the Asians made a modest recovery from their 
total shutout yesterday. 
  
73 and Good DX,

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-11

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Just heading out the door here Gary, so detailed analysis will have 
to waitbut I must admit I supposed that Tonga was on late because 
the talk sounded islandish rather than the expected English or 
Korean.   It didn't peak here until 1417UT, though had been nagging 
for some time.


BUT, 1017 has Filipinos on it also, and a quick re-listen makes me 
wonder if it was Tagalog.  I'll post it later for more informed 
opinion from others.And then, I wonder if maybe that was what you 
were hearing, as the Philippines isn't that far south of the other 
east Asia bearings.


The Graylanders will have recordings to back this supposition up as 
well, with presumably, a thunderous ID on the hour.


best wishes,

Nick

Re: [IRCA] TP 11 Oct

[coffee_canuck]

I was up at 1215 to prepare for the Victoria marathon (volunteer in comms as a 
ham radio guy...)

And according to NHP fish barrel it was a colorful hot mess -/ not a good 
opening but one with a diversity of signals. 

Curious to see what Nicks recordings turn up -- overall looks like a positive 
trend.

[IRCA] Arizona TP, October 11th

[Brian Rachford]

I haven't been doing much of this lately, but after some "live" DXing
yesterday evening, I did an "until the laptop battery runs dry" SDR
recording overnight with my Conti Superloop pointing due north.  This was
in part looking for new domestic stations, but probably does nearly as well
on Japan/Korea as pointing more directly northwest to them.  I managed to
get a 7:26 recording from 0558-1324UT.

I don't have time for a detailed analysis, but reception was good for this
location.  I had medium intelligible audio at times from 774 and 972.
Rivaling 972 for the best signal was the jammer on 1053.  Weak audio from
693, 747, and 828.  Other interesting carriers, but probably still all
Japanese/Korean.  The 1053 jammer peaked at around 1030UT, but the rest of
the stations peaked late in the 12UT hour into early 13UT hour.  My
recording didn't quite last until local 1330UT sunrise.

[IRCA] TP DX in Central California

[Dennis Gibson]

A little after 1400 UTC today I had carriers on 774 and 747 using a stock 
barefoot Sony ICF-2010. No audio from presumed JOUB. Presumed JOIB carrier was 
getting creamed by the KCBS IBOC. 

I may get up earlier once in awhile to see what I can get. I have several 
passive loops that might help. I have a PL-380 but didn't try it as I was 
pressed for time. Might it be a better choice?

What's a good time to start?

I heard what I assume was Tonga-1017 thundering in at 1350 with what 
sounded like a sports play-by-play.  It was definitely in an island 
language and not Tagalog.  Romania was mentioned several times.


The Rugby World Cup is taking place right now.   Tonga is participating, 
so Radio Tonga is probably there to broadcast the highlights.  Romania 
played Italy today, so that's apparently the game they were covering at 
the time.

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-11

[d1028gary]

Bruce and Nick, 
  
Thanks for your comments on the 1017 mystery signal around 1400 this morning. 
  
My reception of the signal was nowhere near as favorable as Nick's recording, 
but I do remember that the other CRI stations on 963, 1044, 1206 and 1323 were 
nowhere near audio at the time, which supports the idea that it may have been 
something trans-equatorial (or Filipino). During signal peaks I heard a male 
voice that sounded Korean to me, but it was too weak and garbled to be sure. 
The male voice seemed excited, which supports Bruce's suggestion that it may 
have been sport coverage. 1017-Tonga has never managed a trace here, however, 
and neither have any of the 1017 Filipinos. Nick's recording doesn't sound at 
all like the excited male voice I heard around 1350. It doesn't really sound 
like sports play-by-play either, but maybe the game that Bruce mentions was 
over by 1417? About the only thing I can say for sure is that 1017 had an 
unusually stable, steady heterodyne with weak audio peaks from 1250-1405 here, 
and there was also unusually good propagation from 738-Tahiti at the same time. 
For a lackluster DX location like this, it's probably the best 1017 scenario 
possible. 
  
Gary

[IRCA] 738-Tahiti Rocks In Again

[d1028gary]

It isn't nearly as exotic as Nick's recording of an apparent 1017-Tonga this 
morning, but 738-Tahiti was also unusually strong from south of the Equator 
this morning-- maybe a consolation prize for this lackluster location? This was 
African-sounding music at good strength at 1343 UTC-- pretty typical of its 
signal from 1250-1400.

Perhaps, Neil.  1017 is there, much better (at least a lot less splatter)

[IRCA] Grayland day two

[Bruce Portzer]

Day Two at Grayland was similar to what Gary and Nick reported, but with 
a lot more stations.  Some had consistent reception, others popped up 
for a few minutes and then faded back into the mush.


DUs were in short supply and somewhat intermittent, despite having an 
antenna aimed at 242 degrees.  Instead, Japan dominated the scene. A 
handful of non-Japanese Asians had good signals at times, including the 
Koreans on 972, 1053, and 1566, Taiwan-1143, VOA-1575, Philippines-1215, 
and possibly 1-2 others.  We may find others once we dig through the SDR 
files.


The Big Gun NHK Stations were energetically vibrant at times, as were a 
few of the second, third, and fourth tier stations.  I managed to hear 
very faint NHK1 on 621 and 981, thanks to the absence of strong mainland 
Asians.  Those two frequencies had been my last two unheard NHK channels.


Some of the stronger Japanese included 594 666 693 729 747 774 828 837 
846 864 891 909 918 954 963 1008 1026 1053 1071 1089 1098 1116 1125 1134 
1152 1179 1188 1224 1242 1278 1287 1314 1332 1386 1422 1440  1503 1593 
and 1602.  I'm going from memory, so there may be others.  JOEF-918 had 
a nice YBC ID at 1400, a new one for me.  I also had a ToH ID as "JOHI" 
on 864, for which the closest match is JOHE.


Anyway, those are the highlights from today.  More to follow after we've 
combed through our files.


Day One, part 2 department:  I checked my Saturday morning overnight 
recording and had a good signal from Tuvalu-621 at 0730 (no actual ID so 
far but there was a newscast in an island language with several mentions 
of Tuvalu). Also, I'm pretty sure I had Micronesia on 999 with Christian 
programming.

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-11: 1017 recording

So Tonga is no longer signing off earlier? I ask since I sometimes have a 
reasonable carrier on 1017 here and think there's a chance to log them in IL.

The same woman was heard before and after on Tonga with the same mix of English

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-11

[Chuck Hutton]

Gary - 
The game was interspersed with a few blocks of talk up until 1416, but I don't 
hear any more play by play after that. There are some ads in the following 
minutes but I quit listening.
